  • Title: Restenosis presented with unstable angina and myocardial infarction: one explanation for late cardiac events following directional coronary atherectomy.
    Author: Hwang MH, Lewis BE, Hsieh A, Jones PA, Leya F, Loeb HS.
    Journal: Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn; 1994 Nov; 33(3):234-6. PubMed ID: 7874717.
    Abstract:
    Three cases of restenosis after directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) presented with unstable angina and then myocardial infarction. Two of them were complicated with malignant ventricular dysrhythmia. A total or subtotal thrombotic occlusion at the DCA site was shown. This fulminating course of restenosis could partially explain the higher late cardiac morbidity and mortality after DCA than after percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty.
